I’ve been to a few playoff series and I found them to be exhilarating! Everyone is having such a good time. I can understand why your experience was draining though. Didn’t the home team lose all of their games? I’ve only been to the World Series once and that was waaay back in 1976 when the Yankees got swept by the Reds. That was depressing except for Thurman Munson. I seem to remember he had a great series.
